one interesting aspect of this blogging this is that i already spend too much time in front of the computer. yet i spend a lot of it responding to posts and focusing on other people's lives, when i could, instead, take a simiilar approach with my own life.

jourinaling is always a meditative process for me, which is different in flavor from my experience with message board posting, when i am often waiting for a reply, or seeing what is going on with other people.

in being introspective, i t is in many ways self nurturing. that is a good way for mom to take care of mom.

plus, i feel it will get me thinking creatively, which is also very different in flavor from stuffing more information into my cranium. it is the exhale, which is so necessary to balance the inhale.

and i know from past experience that thinking creatively has wondrful side effects on my family, and my relations with them. i get more fun with sun when i am in a creative space, instead of a must-do space. which is healthy & important to experience with him.

maybe he will want to start a blog....
